[Intro]
Participation
(In the same phase…. of oscillation)
[Bridge]
Catch a wave
(Before the grave)
Save a wave
(And we’ll rave)
[Verse]
Behave as a wave
(Energy! Frequency!)
Key property
(Of me)

A SCIENCE NOTE
A wavelength is the distance between two consecutive points on a wave that are in the same phase of oscillation. It describes the spatial length of one complete cycle of the wave. Here’s the explanation using ASCII formulas:
Definition
- A wavelength (
lambda) is the physical distance between two peaks (crests), two troughs, or any two equivalent points in phase on a wave.
Units
- Wavelength is measured in meters (m), but depending on the type of wave, it can also be expressed in nanometers (nm) (e.g., light waves) or kilometers (km) (e.g., radio waves).
Formula
The wavelength (lambda) is related to the wave’s speed (v) and frequency (f) by the formula:
